Crepes for Lunch

This week one of my best friends is visiting me in Auburn for the first time, so I need to hit all the hot spots and best local places. Our first stop is Crepe Myrtle Cafe for their mouth watering crepes. Crepe Myrtle is the perfect place to go to sit outside, relax, and have an amazing meal.I love this place not only because their food is great, but it is a local store that only uses local farmers ingredients. While you are waiting on your food you can shop in their local farmers market which has some of the lowest prices in town! Crepes are not just for dessert, here they are for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My favorite savory crepe is the Tomato Lover, which is filled with fresh Roma Tomatoes, Spinach, Feta Cheese, and Balsamic Vinegar. I had the special crepe of the day and it was the exact same as the Tomato Lover except it had chicken and strawberries added to it and it was the best crepe I have ever had. Then once you finish your savory crepe be sure to check out some of the delicious dessert crepes. From the Nutella Crepe to the Sinful Strawberry there is no wrong choice in satisfying your sweet tooth. Next time you are in Auburn make sure you make a stop at Crepe Myrtle Cafe for some of the best local food you can get. You can see more about the restaurant and their menu by going here and don't forget to check out their specials of the day by going here. When you visit make sure to tell them my blog Journey`s With Jordan sent you and let me know how you visit went!

Ride On

If you love cycling as much as I do you are going to love this amazing store I found today called James Bro. Bikes. I was in need of a pair of cycle shoes and I asked my trainer where the best place to go because I could only find a store in Georgia. He told me about this local shop named James Bro. Bikes and I am so glad he did. I am a huge fan of shopping local and could not wait to explore this new shop. The shops atmosphere made me feel like I was in a cabin about to suit up for a relaxing ride. The customer service was beyond any bike shops that I have been in. They were so friendly and made me feel like family. They carry anything you would need for any cycle styles (indoor, mountain, road, you name it they got it) and the best prices around. They fixed me up with a great pair of Bontrager Evokes and they make my ride so smooth. If you are ever in Auburn this should be a stop on your list and if you cant make it here dont worry they have an online store which you can access by clicking here. Happy riding!

Farmers Market Thursday

Every Thursday we have our local Farmers Market and I love to make a recipe with all the yummy fresh ingredients. Today I made a side tomato salad. It is great for summer parties because it is cheap and will go a long way. You can add or take away to fit the size of your crowd. If you have left overs you can eat them the next day, but I do not think it is as good because the vinegar takes all of the strong flavor out of the red onion. You can keep the leftovers up to three days before going bad. Let me know how y'all`s came out! Enjoy!
